I don’t know what it is, probably unconsious, but it definitely taps into something. Me and another guy asked it to tell us a story and it started zinging around spelling out a story and we couldn’t keep up and just quit. I can’t remember the story. I know the other guy wasn’t doing it, you’d have to have known him to know why. And I know I wasn’t doing it. My guess is it was from one of out unconcious minds or from both.

It always does. From your responses, it seems you don’t believe in it.

Or maybe you are trying to learn. Anywho, if you don’t have the faith, I pray you take the “leap”.

God Bless!

So you don’t believe you were conversing with the spirit plane?

I have no desire to a leap of faith that would have me believing in being able to converse with spirits. Do you believe in vampires and fairies and magic also?

Is that a joke? I don't even know what the "sprit plane" means. My best guess is that when two conscious wills are focused on the device with their fingertips on it, elbows off the table, very smooth surface, the unconcious is in the drivers seat. Just a guess though. There's plenty we don't understand about consciousness.

Vampires and fairies aren’t mentioned in the Bible verse’s I gave you. However, conversing with spirits are.

When people go to a “physic” and think they are speaking w/ dead granny, they aren’t.

They are speaking w/ a demon, pretending to be dead granny. They know us as much as He does.....only, they use this information AGAINST us.

I don’t either, but there seems to be a number of freepers that do.

The “true” story behind the Exorcist started with a ouija board. The possessed boy’s aunt was into the occult and played with ouija boards and included her nephew some of the time. She died and he tried contacting her through a ouija board. That is when the SHTF.

They originally thought the trouble was the ghost of the Aunt, but when the boy started speaking fluently in foreign languages and showing extaordinary strength, combined with objects flying around the room and bloody scratches appearing on his skin, that is when those observing decided....well maybe its not the aunt. After taking the boy for extensive psychiatric evaluation and therapy, to no avail, Exorcists were brought in. They finally succeeded in “curing” the boy and he did not remember any of it. He went on to live a happy life.

I agree, do not mess with ouija boards. Even if you believe that it only taps the subconcious and there is nothing supernatural about it, many people have been documented to have gone insane after using the board.

Stoker Hunt conducted an extensive study on the danger of ouija boards:

It still doesn’t even describe a five block radius around her house, let alone the universe.

A personal acquaintance of mine manifested a demon during a church service of about 2,000 people at a prominent megachurch. He stood up and began shouting that he was the christ. A bunch of guys tackled him and got him down and tried to cast the demon out but failed so they kicked him out of the service. Outside in the parking lot he took all his clothes off and walked around naked until the cops showed up and hauled him off to the psych ward.

He told me he thought the demon entered him when he played with a ouija board when he was 8 years old.

FWIW
